OK. I have applied this to a branch called build-script in my tree.
Applying it to current docs-mw (or docs-next) was a bit of a challenge,
due to merge conflicts with the makefiles, but I got there.

This work is now merged in docs-next (and will thus show in linux-next),
but it's not yet in docs-mw, so we're not committed to putting it into
6.18. My current thinking, if all goes well, is to shift it to docs-mw
just after the merge window.

It all seems to work for me, with one little oddity: the "Indices"
section in Documentation/rust/index.rst (which is protected by the usual
".. only::" block) is being included in the htmldocs build, leading to a
spurious "Indices" entry in the left column. Something about the way
the rust directory is being build sets "subproject" maybe? I haven't
had the time to figure it out.

Thanks,

jon
